TCHC introduces new nutrition support group

Tri-County Health Care is introducing a new bi-monthly support group titled Change Your Weighs, which will replace the Diabetes Support Group. The purpose of the group is to provide nutritional resources and information for people with diabetes, prediabetes or those seeking to lose weight or learn more about a healthy diet. It will be held from noon to 1 p.m. in the lobby room at the Maslowski Wellness and Research Center in Wadena. The next class will be held Tuesday, Nov. 27.

All are welcome to attend. Because class takes place over the typical lunch hour, attendees are welcome to bring a lunch. A small snack will be provided. Participants are not required to stay the entire hour.

Classes will be held every other month and will be taught by a registered dietitian or nurse/diabetes educator from Tri-County Health Care. Guest speakers will occasionally attend throughout the year.

The dates and topics include:

• 27 – How to Handle the Holidays
• 29 – Changing Your Weighs with Physical Activity
• March 26 – Healthy Weighs with Food Labels
• May 21 – How to Manage Stress for a Healthy Lifestyle
• July 23 – Grocery Shopping/Tour
